Episode 43 Once Upon a Time on Earth

The old man lightly wisped his white beard and said slowly: "Actually, the name Wanhu is just my pseudonym in the mortal world at that time. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the old man has been silently cultivating since he stepped into the avenue of cultivation, but he is also inevitably walking in the world, I don't know how many dynasties he has experienced, how many places he has been to the land of China, and he has appeared in different places and different times with different identities, so many years have passed, I am afraid that few people remember the name of the old man..."

The old man's words were full of vicissitudes, and Linda was full of curiosity, and couldn't help asking, "I don't know what the real name of the predecessor is?"

"The old man's real name is Peng Zu, maybe you may have heard of it. The old man said with a smile.

"Peng Zu! the predecessor turned out to be the immortal Peng Zu!" Lin Da's eyes widened and he exclaimed incredulously. He had just claimed to be the old man in the Ming Dynasty and had not yet come to his senses, and he was stunned by the old man's true identity.

In Linda's memory, Peng Zu is the eighth generation grandson of the ancient emperor Yellow Emperor, he is good at health preservation, he does not seek fame and fortune in his life, only seeks to be at ease, after Tang Yu, Xia Shang and other generations, lived for more than 800 years, and is also a long-lived immortal in ancient Chinese mythology on the earth. The old man in front of him is also a cultivator who doesn't know how many years ago he lived, and he is even more powerful, and he is also very familiar with the mythical figure of Peng Zu.

Lin Xiaoyou was also too surprised. Although the old man's personality seems to the world to be indifferent, he is an alternative who likes to enter the world among cultivators, hehe, who makes the old man so fascinated by things in the world! Think about it, if the old man can live alone in seclusion and bury himself in penance like my friends, I am afraid that he will be able to achieve the great road long ago, turn into a feather and ascend to the immortal, and ascend to the heavenly realm!" The old man shook his head, as if he was talking to Linda, and as if he was lamenting his fate.

However, when he heard these words, it was like thunder in Linda's ears. He took a deep breath and couldn't help asking, "Since the senior is a Peng Zu Immortal, then you have lived for at least three or four thousand years now, right?!"

The old man nodded and said, "Lin Xiaoyou is right, although the old man is not an immortal yet, after all, he has also practiced for such a long time, and he has cultivated to the peak of the true realm three hundred years ago, and he is only one step away from the true immortal." When the old man said this, his expression was extremely silent, as if he had thought of something unpleasant.

"The pinnacle of the true realm!" Linda suddenly gasped because of this. Ever since he stepped into the cultivation realm, he had long known that the True Realm Cultivator was the highest realm of a cultivator in this world, and as long as he broke through this realm, he would be able to break through the constraints of the interface and soar to another higher-level world, that is, the Heavenly Realm in the mouth of the cultivator, and truly become a Heavenly True Immortal.

However, it is not easy to truly ascend, and in addition to blindly cultivating penance, it is even more difficult to have no special chance. It is said that many monks in the upper realm, after reaching a certain bottleneck in their cultivation, will choose to travel to find opportunities. And the monks who have reached the late stage of the true realm can break through the limitations of the interface, go to space, and find their own opportunities to go to the wider universe. However, in history, there were very few people in the Terran Continent who had reached the True Realm cultivation, let alone the late stage of the True Realm or the peak of the True Realm, and the highest cultivator that Lin Da had ever seen was nothing more than Gui Su, the Marshal of the Gui Army at the peak of the Dan Realm. But the old man in front of him actually reached such a terrifying cultivation, this is an existence that can kill him with just a pinch!

For some reason, the old man sighed lightly, and the conversation with Lynda seemed to touch something, and continued to introduce his experience to Lynda.

"The old man cultivated to reach the late stage of the true realm, about 600 years ago in the Ming Dynasty of China, in order to break through the cultivation, he decided to leave the earth and go to the vast universe to find an opportunity to break through the true realm. But the old man also had a special hobby, and he was extremely curious about all kinds of strange ideas in the world, so he came up with the idea of trying to use the latest rockets that appeared at that time as a power to help me get out of the earth. Of course, that little help naturally couldn't let me leave the earth, and that gorgeous liftoff was just a ceremony arranged by the old man for him to leave the earth. I didn't expect this incident to be recorded by the world, and even you know it now. ”

The old man talked about the past when he left the earth, and Linda listened to it with relish, but he didn't expect that this cultivator who had advanced and advanced cultivation was actually a person with a strong sense of curiosity, in today's era, if he was not a cultivator, he would probably become a scientist-like figure like Grant and Arden.

The old man said slowly: "After the old man left the earth, he knew the true face of the world. It turns out that the earth we live on is just an insignificant planet in the vast universe! Even the sun and moon, which are full of all kinds of myths and legends, are extremely ordinary beings in the universe. The old man was surprised, and stayed on several planets near the sun for nearly a hundred years, searching for various rare treasures on other planets, and also found some traces that were suspected to be left by human civilization and other cultivators. ”

"Other human civilizations?In addition to our earth, are there other human civilizations in the solar system?" Linda's curiosity lit up, and her eyes lit up, and she couldn't help asking.

"The solar system? This is what you call our planets, right? It's a good name! Hehe, of course there are other civilizations on other planets! For example, there is a moon on the planet, and even the earth where we are located, which is what you call the earth now, and there were five or six prehistoric civilizations before our civilization era. However, for unknown reasons, these civilizations have been extinct for many years, and our current civilization has only been born for more than 10,000 years. The old man said lightly, as if he knew a lot about human history.

"It turns out that prehistoric civilization really existed! That junior still has a question, is there any other cultivator on the earth besides you? Why haven't we ever seen the existence of cultivators?" Lin Da became more and more excited the more he listened, and kept asking.

The old man raised his eyebrows and was silent for a moment, and then said: "Of course there are other cultivators on the earth! It's just that these cultivators pay attention to escaping the world, and never enter the worldly world easily. Only in this way can these cultivators endure the temptation of the world, truly return to the basics, cultivate the truth and accept the qi, and finally reach the realm of the unity of heaven and man, and soar to the immortal realm!"

"Then apart from you at that time, what about those cultivators in other places in the world?" Lin Da asked as curiously as a curious elementary school student.

The old man smiled and said: "Hehe, at that time, in addition to the Huaxia where the old man was located, there were many long-standing Xiuzhen sects in the Western world called by mortals at that time, as well as in Tianzhu Kingdom and other two places, in addition, there were many scattered cultivators around the world, they lived in seclusion in various corners, although the old man liked to travel in the world, but it was rare to see them. However, at that time, the Xiuzhen sect in the Western world seemed to be invaded by demons, and the entire mortal world fell into the dark ages. Later, after nearly a hundred years of fighting, by the time the old man was ready to ascend, the invasion of demons was nearing the end. Old man, I have also seen a lot of the appearance of the earth today from your experience, and it seems that the demons that invaded the Western world back then have almost been eliminated!"

When Linda heard this amazing legend, he was stunned, he didn't expect that there had been a war between cultivators and demons on the earth. The Western world that the old man is talking about must be the current European region, and the war between man and demon 600 years ago refers to the Middle Ages in the West? During that period, the development of Western civilization fell into an era of stagnation and even regression, and various barbarian tribes vied with each other to invade the centers of Western civilization, bringing great disasters to the human world, in addition to frequent wars, all kinds of diseases were sadistic to the human world, and the Black Death did not know how many lives were taken in Europe, and it was not until the arrival of the Renaissance in the 15th century that the end of the Dark Middle Ages was announced. Unexpectedly, all of this was caused by the invasion of demons.

"And where did these demons come from?" asked Linda, puzzled.

The old man took a deep breath, as if remembering some terrible past, and then said, "Those demons are not creatures on our earth. Since ancient times, every once in a while, various demons have invaded the earth, and their invasion of the earth has been large and small, causing different amounts of damage. As for where these demons came from, over the years, after some research, the cultivators of the previous generations finally discovered that these demons actually came from some inexplicable spatial nodes unintentionally!"

"Space node?!" Linda was startled, as if she remembered something.

"That's right, it's the space nodes, they are actually the connection nodes between the various otherworlds and our earth, and these monsters came to the earth through the nodes. The old man estimated that most of the civilizations that disappeared before human beings were caused by the invasion of these demons. The old man's expression froze, and he actually said like this.

These words immediately resonated in Linda's heart. Wasn't that wormhole that appeared in the Gulf of Aden on Earth back then the space node that the old man said? That space node connected the earth with the interface where he is now, if it weren't for the timely measures taken by the countries of the earth at that time, combined with the human elites, including them, to work together to eliminate the wormhole, I am afraid that the various monsters and alien races that came out of the wormhole would not know what kind of terrible disaster it would bring to the civilization of the earth.

The old man looked at Linda, as if he had seen through something, and said, "It seems that you also came to this realm through such a spatial node, right? Just now, from the dream induction technique used on you, the old man already knew that before you arrived, there was also a spatial node on the earth, right? There are so many alien races invading the earth, this is very similar to the evil demons that invaded the western world back then!" If it weren't for the fact that today's mortal civilization has developed to an extremely high level, I'm afraid that with the strength of today's Earth cultivators, it would be impossible to resist such an alien invasion, right? In this case, you are also a person who has made great contributions to the defense of the earth!"

Linda nodded noncommittally, in the implementation of the "Lock Star" plan, it is everyone's mission to prevent monsters and aliens from invading the earth, he just did what he had to do, compared to the soldiers who died in the battle with the monsters, his contribution was nothing.

Lin Da thought for a moment and then asked, "The predecessors just talked about today's cultivators, is there still a cultivator on the earth now? Is the number of cultivators on the earth already very rare? When the demons appeared this time, why didn't they help us mortals to kill the demons together as in the past?"

The old man pondered for a while, and then said, "Well, that's true, the number of cultivators on the earth is indeed getting smaller and smaller. In fact, since the Middle Ages, the number of cultivators has begun to decrease year by year, and after the old man flew away from the earth, all the cultivators in the world at that time were only 10,000 people. Another more important reason may also be related to the increase in the number of mortals and the intensification of various activities, which leads to the passage of heaven and earth aura. ”

When Lin Da heard this, it suddenly dawned on him that the decrease in cultivators was actually the result of the activities of ordinary mortals. Since the end of the Dark Ages, human civilization has begun to develop at an accelerated pace. Especially in the past two hundred years, human beings have entered the age of steam, mechanization, electrification and information age, and while reaching an unprecedented height of human civilization, human activities have also caused various irreparable damage to nature. It was this kind of destruction that led to the loss of the earth's heaven and earth aura and the decrease in the number of cultivators. From this point of view, I wonder if this is the pride of human progress or the misfortune of mankind.

Lin Da sighed with emotion in his heart, paused slightly, and raised a question that made the old man sigh with emotion. (To be continued.) )
